The disclosure relates to the technical field of rail transit devices, in particular to a mechanical apparatus which can prevent bogies of a rail vehicle from occurring derailment accidents during operation.
Nowadays, with the improvement of the running speed and transport efficiency of trains, if a train occurs derailment, circumstances such like line close, train shutting down or delay will be caused. Therefore, the requirement for the anti-derailment performance of bogies is higher and higher, especially to the main line railway where the transportation is relatively busy.
The bogie without fixing an anti-derailment apparatus relies only on the flange of the wheel itself for taking precautions against the anti-derailment of the bogie. Since the constrained points are relatively fewer, the anti-derailment capability is relative weak.
The Chinese patent application with the publication No. CN204548142U discloses a rail vehicle and safety protection apparatus for anti-derailment. The basic principle of the apparatus is to allow the safety protection apparatus to contact with the outside of the rail after the wheelset is separated from the steel rail, so as to avoid the whole bogie separating from the railway line. The safety protection apparatus allows the wheelset to be separated from the rail, and then avoids the lateral movement of the vehicle being too much by use of the apparatus. The function of the apparatus works only after the vehicle occurs derailment. The bogie without fixing the above safety protection apparatus cannot effectively limit derailment accidents such as rail climbing, and after the wheelset is separated from the rail, the lateral vibration of the vehicle is relatively large.
The technical problem to be solved by the disclosure is to overcome the shortage and defect as mentioned above in the Background. The disclosure provides an anti-derailment apparatus for a bogie of a rail vehicle and an anti-derailment bogie of a rail vehicle, the apparatus can avoid the bogie of the rail vehicle from occurring derailment during operation, especially can avoid derailment which may occur after the wheelset climbing rail, increasing safety and transport efficiency of the train.
In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of disclosure is an anti-derailment apparatus for a bogie of a rail vehicle. The anti-derailment apparatus comprises at least one mounting seat which is mounted at the bottom of the bogie of a rail vehicle, and an anti-derailment slide plate arranged on the mounting seat (1) extending toward the ground rail; a transverse position of the anti-derailment slide plate on the bogie and the extending length of the anti-derailment slide plate (2) in the vertical direction (i.e., the vertical length) are set to meet the following requirements simultaneously:
1) always making the anti-derailment slide plate located at the inside of the ground rail when the rail vehicle runs normally;
2) when at least one wheelset of the rail vehicle climbs rail, the anti-derailment slide plate acts on the ground rail (that is, contacts with the inside of the rail) to form lateral limitation points so as to limit the freedom (generally, the freedom comprises lateral movement freedom and swing freedom) of the rail vehicle (for example, the bogie system) and make it still constrained by the ground rail. In the state of such constraint, the anti-derailment slide plate forces the wheelset climbing rail to centre automatically, and resume to the normal position from the state of climbing rail.
The above technical solution of the disclosure is based on the following concept: when the wheelset climbs rail so that the bogie of a rail vehicle has a derailment tendency, the anti-derailment apparatus contacts with the inside of the rail, and by means of the stability of a triangular system constituted together by the rigidity of the bogie and the contact of the anti-derailment apparatus with the wheelset, a further lateral displacement of the wheelset climbing rail is limited, and the wheelset climbing rail centres automatically, resuming to the normal position from the state of climbing rail and avoiding the occurrence of derailment. The anti-derailment apparatus of the disclosure can not only effectively prevent the lateral separation between the wheelset and the rail, but also can continuously act the protection function during the train operation, thereby always achieving the anti-derailment effect.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, the anti-derailment apparatus comprises a pair of mounting seats which are mounted at the bottom of the bogie. The pair of mounting seats comprise a first mounting seat which is located at the left side of the bottom of the bogie and a second mounting seat which is located at the right side of the bottom of the bogie. Each of the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat are configured with the anti-derailment slide plate. Preferably, the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat are arranged symmetrically along the centre line of the ground rail. Upon using such a preferable solution, the synchronous protection of the rail vehicle at both sides can be achieved, ensuring that an effective precaution can be made when the train runs in forward and reverse directions as well as derails at the left and right sides.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, the transverse position of the anti-derailment slide plate is achieved by controlling the lateral distance of the anti-derailment slide plate and the flange of the wheelset. Preferably, the anti-derailment slide plate and the flange are located at the same line. When the transverse position meets the above requirements, not only the interference of the anti-derailment slide plate with the inside of the rail can be reduced to the greatest extent, but also the anti-derailment apparatus can be initiated once the wheelset derails, reducing the occurrence of derailment accidents to the greatest extent.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, the extending length of the anti-derailment slide plate in the vertical direction (i.e., the vertical length) is not smaller than the height of the flange of the wheelset. Preferably, the extending length of the anti-derailment slide plate in the vertical direction is achieved by controlling the height of the lower surface of the anti-derailment apparatus (with respect to ground). Of course, when the transverse position on the mounting seat ensures that the anti-derailment slide plate and the flange are located at the same line, a more preferable way is setting the extending length of the anti-derailment slide plate so that the height of the lower surface of the anti-derailment apparatus is aligned with the height of the flange. Such a setting can not only ensure that the anti-derailment apparatus always acts during the train operation, but also cannot make the contact of the middle anti-derailment slide plate with the inside of the rail ineffective while one wheelset climbs rail, and also reduce the interference of the anti-derailment slide plate with the rail as much as possible.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, the anti-derailment slide plate is configured to be a slide plate of which the extending length is adjustable. A more preferable and more compact setting way is: the mounting seat is provided with a strip-shaped sliding groove which extends along the vertical direction, and the anti-derailment slide plate is configured on the mounting seat through the fastener which can slide upward and downward within the sliding groove. The contact surfaces of the anti-derailment slide plate and the mounting seat are configured to be zigzag butting surfaces which mesh with each other. Since the extending length is adjustable, that is, the height of the lower surface of the anti-derailment slide plate can be adjusted upward and downward, the interference of the slide plate with the infrastructure (here, the infrastructure mainly refers to the rail) due to the reduction of the radius of the wheel resulting from the re-profiling repair of the wheelset can be avoided better. Moreover, the adjustable characteristic of the anti-derailment slide plate can also make the anti-derailment apparatus mounted on bogies of different vehicles so as to adjust the lower surface of the anti-derailment slide plate to keep an optimal position with the flange.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, the mounting seat is an L shape, and the L shaped mounting seat comprises a horizontal top surface which can be fastened to the bogie through a fastener (for example, bolt), and also comprises a vertical side surface which can be fastened to the anti-derailment slide plate through another fastener. Of course, the mounting seat can also be fixed on the bogie by the way of welding, or integrally moulded with the side frame and the framework of the bogie upon manufacturing, but preferably connected through a fastener, facilitating the replacement after abrasive wear and applying to different rail vehicles, and the detachment of the anti-derailment apparatus due to the vibration of the framework or the side frame of the bogie may not occur, ensuring good anti-derailment performance.
In the above anti-derailment apparatus for the bogie of a rail vehicle, preferably, both sides of the lower portion of the anti-derailment slide plate are provided with a keep-space area. The keep-space area is disposed particularly at the side of the anti-derailment slide plate facing the ground rail, and the anti-derailment slide plate provided with the keep-space area is a tip shape or a wedge shape, ensuring that the whole anti-derailment apparatus has good switch-passing performance and does not interfere with the infrastructure.
As a general technical concept, the disclosure also provides an anti-derailment bogie of a rail vehicle which comprises a bogie and the above anti-derailment apparatus of the disclosure, each side of each bogie is mounted with the anti-derailment apparatus. The upper portion of the anti-derailment apparatus is mounted at the bottom of the bogie, and the lower portion of the anti-derailment apparatus hangs between the two front and rear wheelsets to which the bogie corresponds. The technical solution also ensures that the freedom of the bogie system can still be constrained by the rail when one wheelset of the bogie climbs rail, through adding lateral limitation points to the side frame or the framework of the bogie, thereby avoiding the occurrence of derailment accidents. Furthermore, preferably, the anti-derailment apparatus applies to the bogie system without axle-box springs or with axle-box springs having relatively great rigidity.
The above technical solutions of the disclosure are based mainly on the following principles: the existing bogie is in four-point contact substantially, and the four points are subject to the lateral constraint of the flange, and when the flange at one side climbs rail due to various external factors, the lateral constraint of the flange on one axle may be ineffective, which may cause occurrence of derailment accidents; with respect to the case where the lateral constraint reduces when the flange climbs rail, the disclosure designs in the way of adding lateral limitation points between the bogie and the rail, i.e., adding at least one or two lateral limitation points (lateral constraint points) at the middle of the bogie, so that constraint points between the bogie and the rail exceed four (reach 6 or more). When one wheel of the bogie climbs rail and loses the lateral constraint function, there are still at least four points on the bogie to maintain the lateral constraint, making the whole bogie on the rail still move along the rail, then the wheelset by its own automatic centering function can even resume the original operation state, avoiding the occurrence of derailment accidents.
Compared with the related art, the advantages of the disclosure lie in: the technical solutions of the disclosure can dedicate to prevent derailment of the bogie of a rail vehicle and can improve the anti-derailment performance of the bogie substantially. Meanwhile, the apparatus of the disclosure is simple in structure, low in cost, reliable in operation and free from maintenance, and when the bogie mounted with the anti-derailment apparatus runs on the railway line, losses coming from such as closing the railway line, shutting down the train, rescuing the train etc. due to derailment of the train will reduce greatly, greatly increasing safety and transport efficiency of the train.
